Thanks for the plan, Sha'. I need to read it more thoroughly to see if I have a chance to stay on it long enough to work.
One side note that I thought about with EvilBrent's thread but I didn't want to go OT: Multiple studies have shown that lack of sleep increases appetite and binge eating and leads to weight gain. And - insert an obvious "well, d'uh" here - a lot of people with young kids don't get enough sleep. Here's a non-jargon-y summary and a quote from one study:

Sleep Loss Boosts Appetite, May Encourage Weight Gain
Researchers at the University of Chicago have found that partial sleep deprivation alters the circulating levels of the hormones that regulate hunger, causing an increase in appetite and a preference for calorie-dense, high-carbohydrate foods. The study, published in the 7 Dec. 2004 issue of the Annals of Internal Medicine, provides a mechanism linking sleep loss to the epidemic of obesity.
